Evrim and Ezgi TED Talk Translation TED TALK TRANSLATION (Evrim Gordoglu) I am a writer. Writing book is my profession, but of course it is more than that. İt is also my great life long love and passion. And I don’t suppose it will change. But, recently, something kind of peculiar has happened which affected my life and my career which has caused me to reorder my whole relationship with this work. The peculiar thing was that I recently wrote my memory book named ‘eat, pray and love’, but this book contrary to any of my previous books, it was perceived in the world and for some reason, it became big, mega-sensational, international best-seller thing. The result of which is that everywhere I go now, people treat me like a doomed, seriously doomed, doomed. They come and say: ‘Aren’t you afraid? Aren’t you afraid you are never going to be able to do better, aren’t you afraid you are going to keep writing for a whole life and you are never again going to create book that anybody in the world cares about at all if you also continue to write during your life. So these words are reassuring, you know. But, twenty years ago, when I was a teenager, when I tell people that I want again to be writer, ıf I hadn’t remembered that some kind of fear based reaction, I would feel bad myself now. People would say: ‘Aren’t you afraid you are never going to have any success? Won’t the humiliation of rejection kill you? After you dedicate your whole life to this craft, aren’t you afraid nothing is going to be concluded, aren’t you afraid to die in the garbage of your broken dreams and your mouth filled with bitter ash…like that.
